New Batteries

Barbwire that's stapled

in my bleeding mouth

Locked in a cage

naked animals beat me

and a saviour knocks

an untamed animal inserts new batteries

and charges once again

and charges once again

and charges once again

and charges once again



We set off into the unknown

until we destroy

everything and are dominant

once again

once again

once again

once again into the back where we ride



The barbwire returns

in my mouth, ripping an old healed wound

My soul has

grown rusty

I want to cut

and slice myself to death

But lacking courage,

I shut myself off instead



I'm alone again
